SWAG falls apart quickly after the first three songs. It's quincentennial Hollister pop music, but even calling it pop feels too kind. It lacks emotions, interesting lyrics, and intriguing beats.
I'm not sure I'm the right person to review this album. It's not my favorite genre of music, so it's harder to impress me. With that in mind, this album fell flat for me.
All of my favorite songs on CHROMAKOPIA were songs with features. The stand alone songs felt disjointed and confused. However, the songs are vibrant and experimental with interesting messages.
Bad Bunny captures a lonely--yet relatable--feeling with DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. These songs drip with nostalgia and meaning against such a striking visual cultural milieu. Such a contrast of emotion and dance! Bad Bunny at his best is both personal and fun
Some good, some bad. Sabrina has impressive vocal range, but these songs blend together and don't reach her full potential as an artist. I'd like to see depth beyond sexual innuendo and tiktok soundbites
This album is a bit of a conundrum for me--I love the composition and vibes, but find myself bored at odd points. I think it's because I find it hard to connect with some of the lyrics, but I do adore the story that she is telling.
Golden Hour is a dreamy, gauzy, ethereal album. It oozes optimism and radical gratitude--Kasey's voice is the perfect layer to the message that life is beautiful if you know where to look. The standouts for me are of course the title song Golden ... read more
Hands down, Noah's strength is in his lyricism. Stick Season tops his other albums and EPs in his poetic storytelling and ability to paint an entire landscape through song. Plus, he has the uncanny ability to pluck the emotions he writes about straight from my own personal experiences. Compositionally, some songs are fantastic, some are boring, some are just meh. The emotion in the album tops all else.
Polished yet raw. Complicated, yet unadorned. For me, Bon Iver, Bon Iver is the magnum opus of Vernon’s skill as an artist. The band paints a harmonic, acoustic universe with the perfect balance of cabin-folksy For Emma Forever Ago vibes, contrasted with exploration of the voice as an instrument (as seen in a deeper dive in 22, A Million and i,i). I’m not sure I could find music better than this — there is always something new to discover in its nostalgia, beauty, and ... read more
This album starts with an unbelievably solid 5-6 song run, especially when you consider that is it self-recorded. Its strength is in it's beginning, but holistically the album is cohesive and an exemplary beginning for RMCM
You simply can't beat the original, but Charli comes very close. Some highlights are Girl so confusing ft Lorde, I think about it all the time ft Bon Iver, and Guess ft Billie Eilish.
Can my words do it justice? I don't think so. Brat is vulnerable, uncomfortable, and addicting. Pop culture phenomena aside, Charli is at her best -- clashing hyper club beats with stark lyricism and honest reflection.
Perfectly timeless, bold, and uncomfortable. What Bon Iver does best
evermore is Swift's most perfect album. The best of her cohesive storytelling and poetic yearning
